Modern Minds, Ancient Fixes: Inside Ayurveda's Answer To Anxiety And Brain Fog
Last Updated: With its simple ingredients and lifestyle changes, Ayurveda can help you build calm and resilience amidst the daily chaos. Ever feel like your mind has 20 tabs open, and the real problem isn't the noise, but the fact that you can't tell which one task deserves your attention first? The chaos of modern life doesn't just overwhelm your calendar; it clouds your thinking, drains your focus, and makes even simple decisions feel heavier than they should. Long before therapy apps, trending hacks, or self-help podcasts entered the chat, Ayurveda had already laid out simple, time-tested ways to build calm and resilience. At the heart of this ancient wisdom lies Ashwagandha, a powerful herb that calms the mind and restores balance. Ashwagandha is more than just a natural supplement; in Ayurveda, it's classified as a Rasayana, a rejuvenator of both mind and body. It's known for supporting your nervous system, managing cortisol levels, and improving emotional stability – all without the crash that comes from caffeine or energy drinks. Dr. Govindarajan, Chief Innovation Officer at Kapiva explains what makes Ashwagandha special. He mentions that the benefit of this herb is its long-term effect: it strengthens your inner resilience, making you less reactive to daily stressors and more capable of handling emotional and physical demands with ease. He notes, 'In Ayurveda, stress isn't seen as something that lives only in your head – it's a signal that your entire system is out of sync. Small daily rituals, paired with nature's support, can help realign the mind, body, and spirit." Herbal Support Ashwagandha is often the go-to herb for stress, but Ayurveda also leans on other plant allies. Dr Govindarajan notes, 'Jatamansi helps promote deep relaxation, Brahmi sharpens mental clarity, and Shankhpushpi offers emotional grounding. Together, these herbs create a natural cushion for the nervous system, allowing you to face life's curveballs with calm." Ayurveda teaches that food is fuel for both the body and the mind. Eating in sync with your dosha – whether Vata, Pitta, or Kapha – creates emotional balance from within. Dr Govindarajan suggests, 'For Vata types, warm and grounding foods like stews, root vegetables, and hearty soups help stabilise the mind and body. Pitta types find relief with cooling options such as cucumber, coconut water, and leafy greens. Meanwhile, Kapha types feel lighter and more energised with spiced, light meals like mung bean soup, steamed vegetables, and warming spices such as ginger and turmeric. Adding Ashwagandha to your diet, either as a supplement or mixed into warm milk, can enhance this balance even further." Move, Breathe, and Release Yoga and pranayama (breathwork) are more than fitness – they're stress detox tools. Flows like Surya Namaskar, grounding postures like forward bends, and calming techniques like alternate nostril breathing help clear emotional clutter. Make Friends with Stillness When your mind is racing, sitting quietly can feel impossible. Ashwagandha helps ease the nervous system into a calmer state, making it easier to practice meditation, mindfulness, or even just conscious breathing, helping you reconnect to your centre. Align with Nature's Clock Ayurveda's daily rhythm practice, known as Dinacharya, is a gentle antidote to the high-speed pace of modern life. Rising with the sun, eating at regular intervals, and winding down before 10 p.m. help your body and mind fall into harmony with natural cycles. Create a Sleep Sanctuary Dr Govindarajan explains, 'One of Ayurveda's most nurturing rituals is Abhyanga – a warm oil self-massage before bed. Combine this with dimmed lights, unplugged gadgets, and a calming nighttime routine to signal your body that it's time to switch off. Ashwagandha supports this transition by calming the mind and preparing the body for restful sleep." While stress might be woven into the fabric of modern life, it doesn't have to define your days. Ayurveda offers more than quick fixes – it offers small, meaningful ways to steady yourself, even when the world around you isn't.

Fire up your core with these easy but effective yoga asanas
Maintaining a strong core is an often-ignored but truly essential health hack. It plays a central role in nearly every movement your body makes. It helps maintain the perfect posture, increase your balance, reduces injury risk and more. But did you know that a gym membership isn't the only way to get a strong core? Even yoga can help. Riya Vyas, founder of Unalome Yoga, shared three asanas you can try to fire up your core easily and effectively. Postures like Boat Pose (Navasana) and Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana), featured in this reel, engage the deep abdominal muscles, support spinal alignment, and improve posture. Variations of the boat pose further challenge the body, enhancing endurance and muscular control. Unlike high-impact workouts, yoga strengthens the core while minimising strain on the joints. Watch the video here: A post shared by Riya Vyas | Yoga & wellness expert (@riyavyasyoga) Boat Pose (Navasana): It is a core-strengthening yoga posture that builds balance and stability by engaging the abdominal muscles. It also helps improve concentration and tones the hips and spine. Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana): Setu Bandhasana, or Bridge Pose, strengthens the back, glutes, and hamstrings while gently opening the chest and spine. It also helps calm the mind and relieve stress and mild depression. Riya tells us that in a world increasingly dominated by sedentary routines and screen time, maintaining core strength is more important than ever. 'A strong core is not just about toned abs—it forms the foundation for overall stability, balance, and functional movement. It keeps your spine and organs protected. Yoga, with its mindful approach and holistic postures, offers a powerful and sustainable way to build core strength.' She adds, 'A strong core is key to preventing lower back pain, improving athletic performance, and enhancing daily movement—from lifting groceries to standing for long hours. It also supports better breathing and digestion, making it vital for overall well-being.'
